After going from six members to five, it was revealed that the Hong Kong girl group XiX has lost another member, though this time, the said member was outed from the group.

As reported on Mingpao, manager Eric Kwok, who appeared with the remaining four members at a press conference held in Wan Chai, revealed that the group recently lost member Vici three weeks ago due to issues with the singer’s parents.

Emphasising that a manager needs cooperation from the parents, he and his wife however weren’t able to get along with Vici’s parents no matter how much effort was put into doing so.

“My wife [Grace Ip] and I have been artistes for so many years and have never been so angry. I support what my wife said before 100 percent. As for what she said, that’s up to you [to find out],” he said.

As for Vici’s contract, he said that the record company will handle it.

Despite losing another member, Eric said that the group will not be just a four-member group, and that they plan to recruit up to two more members to fill the gap.

Meanwhile, the rest of the members, Crystal, Caitlin, Charlotte and Kiele admitted that they were surprised over the news at first, but respect Eric’s decision.
